Claiming early favouritism for the 2014 Golden Rose following an impressive first-up victory in the Group 2 Silver Shadow Stakes (1200m) in August, Bring Me The Maid is offered an excellent chance of maiden Group 1 success from barrier 6.

More than stamping her claims as one to watch over an impressive maiden preparation in autumn which included a win in the Group 2 Magic Night Stakes (1200m) and third in the Group 1 Golden Slipper (1200m) most notably, Bring Me The Maid has been identified as a high threat by a number of her Golden Rose rivals and has been confirmed to be partnered by leading jockey Luke Nolen.

Stable representative from trainer Peter Moody in Sydney, Clare Cunningham said Bring Me The Maid has pleased the team in the lead-up to the 2014 Golden Rose, and will line up on Saturday in peak condition.

“From her two-year-old prep she’s probably matured into a lot stronger of a filly but I think there’s still a lot to come,” Cunningham said following the Golden Rose barrier draw.

“He first-up win was obviously very pleasing and from there she’s trained on really well and enjoyed the three weeks between starts.

“I think she’s tough enough to bring it.”

Yet to be defeated over three impressive starts so far, Bart and James Cummings-trained colt Hallowed Crown without doubt took the biggest hit of all leading Golden Rose chances, allocated the wide and awkward gate 14.

Debuting with a strong win in a minor over 1150m on March 26th, Hallowed Crown has continued to impressive via victories in both the Group 3 Kindergarten Stakes (1100m) and Group 3 Run To The Rose (1200m) most recently.

While disappointed to have drawn a wide gates, co-trainer James Cummings said Zoustar’s victory from the outside gate in the 2013 Golden Rose coupled with the likelihood of a rain-soaked Rosehill track on Saturday allow the Street Sense colt to remain a great chance of success.

“I think the important thing is you draw around some horses that can really bring you into the race,” Cummings said.

“Last year I think Zoustar drew 16 and Dissident drew 14, and they came away to fight it out.

“He’s got a turn of foot; he came from a position where he was sort of well back and coming wide around the bend first-up … that attribute can get him out of trouble.

“He’s the sort of horse who has kept raising the bar and meeting the challenge, he’s improved from his first occasions – we saw him in a public trial and started at 10-1 in his debut.”

Godolphin’s chances of success in the 2014 Golden Rose Stakes have, if anything, been embellished by Wednesday’s barrier draw; with classy colt Kumaon allocated the ideal barrier 1, while Sarajevo will leave from the central barrier 8 and will be partnered by Premiership-winning jockey James McDonald.

“Obviously had big wraps on the horse since day dot and he’s yet to put it together, but I think he definitely can on Saturday with a good track if we get that,” McDonald said of Sarajevo after the draw.

“I feel he’s the horse to beat’ his work has been up to standard and obviously he hasn’t had a lot of luck with tracks and barriers and I think if he gets the breaks on Saturday, whatever beats him wins the race.”

Racing Manager of Godolphin Australian Jason Walsh said he believes Kumaon will be a particularly good chance of success in the 2014 Golden Rose should the Rosehill track firm over the coming days.

“He has got the record on the board – he ran third in the Champagne (Stakes, Group 1, 1600m) and showed a lot in the autumn, so again we’re confident that if he gets fairer ground or faster ground he’ll be even more effective,” Walsh said.

A notable performer over the 2014 Autumn Carnival, trainer Peter Moody has confirmed Bring Me The Maid in the final field for the 2014 Golden Rose.

Owned by the syndicate of Wylie Dalziel and the late, great Roy Higgins, Bring Me The Maid debuted to racing in exceptional form in March; winning the Listed Sports 1000 (1000m) first-up before finishing a luckless third when blocked for a run in the Listed St Albans Stakes (1200m) on March 14th.

Charging home to secure a particularly impressive victory in the Group 2 Magic Night Stakes (1200m) on March 29th, the Sebring filly ran on to finish an impressive third in the Group 1 Golden Slipper (1200m) on April 5th before returning to the spelling paddock.

Returning to the races for a comfortable victory in the Group 2 Silver Shadow Stakes (1200m) on August 23rd, Moody is confident the 2014 Golden Rose provides the ideal distance and conditions for Bring Me The Maid to secure a maiden Group 1 victory.

Also included in the final field for the 2014 Golden Rose is exciting Bart and James Cummings-trained colt Hallowed Crown.

Stamping his claims as one to watch with a near-two length victory in the TAB Early Quaddie Maiden (1150m) on March 26th, Hallowed Crown quickly continued to announce his presence to the racing community when overcoming an early check to win the Group 3 Kindergarten Stakes (1100m) with ease on April 12th.

Returning to the races with another comfortable win in the Group 3 Run To The Rose (1200m) on August 30th, James Cummings last week revealed the team are thrilled with the continually building form and class of the Street Sense colt and are confident of securing Saturday’s feature race.

Touted as a leading chance for success in the 2014 Golden Rose from his maiden race start in January, Team Hawkes have this morning confirmed Nostradamus will take his place at Rosehill Gardens this weekend.

Finishing fourth in the Group 3 Blue Diamond Prelude (1100m) and credible seventh in the Group 1 Blue Diamond Stakes (1200m) on February 22nd before returning to the paddock, the Medaglia D’Oro colt charged home to win the Group 3 San Domenico Stakes (1100m) by a length on August 16th, but was unable to match the late pace when a disappointing seventh in the Run To The Rose last time out.

Interestingly figuring as the only runner to have already claiming a Group 1 title confirmed for the 2014 Golden Rose, Almalad was particularly disappointing when beating a solitary runner home in the Run To The Rose first-up, but should be far better for the competitive run according to trainer Gai Waterhouse.

Undefeated prior to his racing return, the Al Maher gelding won the Nuturf Plate (1000m) in his racing debut in December; returning this year for back-to-back wins in the TAB Early Quaddie Plate (1200m) on May 24th and Group 1 J.J. Atkins (1600m) on June 7th.

Several notable exclusions from the final field of the 2014 Golden Rose Stakes include the likes of Brazen Beau, who will instead contest the Group 2 Danehill Stakes (1200m) on Saturday, Chris Waller-trained Law, who is suffering from a high temperature and last-star winner Panzer Division, who has been confirmed for a different course through the 2014 Spring Racing Carnival.

The Exceed And Excel filly’s most recent start resulted in a third placing behind Guelph in the Group 1 Sires’ Produce Stakes at Randwick on April 13, 2013, and she will be looking to go two spots better when she runs in the 2013 Golden Rose.

“She’s put on 40kg and looks great,” Altomonte told Sky Sports radio.
